Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
Course: Dinner, Lunch
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp raw honey (I like to buy local)
  • 1 large navel orange (or 2 small)
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • oil for the grill
  • 12 jumbo sea scallops (about 1lb)
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • double prong metal skewers

Instructions

  • Cut the ends off the orange, and cut the remaining orange into 4 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Cut each slice into 4 pieces.
  • Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange to get 2 tablespoons.
  • In a small bowl combine honey, 2 tbsp orange juice and ginger.
  • Heat the grill or a grill pan to high. Clean grates oil well so the scallops don't stick to the grates.
  • Thread the orange and scallops onto the skewers, starting and finishing with the orange. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill about 2 minutes on each side, until the scallops are opaque throughout, then brush and baste with the sauce and cook 30 to 60 more seconds on each side.
